How to Buy Yiddish Books

We never envisioned the Yiddish Book Center as a genizah, a static storehouse for old books. Rather, our goal from the outset was to place old volumes into the hands of new readers—both used books and reprints (print-on-demand copies) of books in our collection that we make available for purchase.

Visitors to the Yiddish Book Center can purchase books from the shelves of the large repository at the heart of our building.

If you can't make it here in person, contact David Mazower, the Center's bibliographer, at [email protected] or 413-256-4900, ext. 153, to inquire about buying books. (Not all books are available, but we maintain waiting lists for less common titles.)

Members of the Yiddish Book Center receive special discounts on purchases. See prices below for more information. You can learn more about becoming a member by visiting our membership page. Also see the "Discount policy" section below.
